axl_oswaldo 's review for:
A Christmas Memory
by Truman Capote
Christmas Read No. 3
All I want for Christmas is… ¿you?
Of course not. All I want for Christmas is a slice of fruitcake, please. :)
“Oh my,” she exclaims, her breath smoking the windowpane, “it’s fruitcake weather!”
——-
This short story has been really important to me since I read it out loud to my family after we had dinner last night. Clearly, the story itself is quite meaningful, enjoyable and a little nostalgic, which was perfect for this day.
Thus, in order to appreciate it more (if that’s possible), I decided to pick it up again today, but this time in its original language, and I can tell it was the best decision ever.
In my opinion, it’s a very well written tale, that it’s impossible not to sympathize with the three only characters who are part of the story. The ending is remarkable, and somehow reminded me of when my parents and I used to visit my grandma on Christmas Day when I was a child. Now, unfortunately my grandma is not with us anymore, but my memories are and will be still with me, just like A beautiful Christmas Memory.

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you are having a great day with your family, friends, and people around you that you love. :)
I wish all your dreams come true!
